The present invention relates to a coating formulation for digital printing media comprising a polymeric binder and a solid metal complex, wherein said solid metal complex comprises (i) a divalent or trivalent metal cation and (ii) a polydentate ligand. The invention further relates to a method for preparing the inventive coating formulation, to a digital printing medium comprising the inventive coating and a method for preparing same, and to corresponding uses.

A method is provided for manufacturing a paper or a thermoplastic foil or a vitrimeric foil printable with an inkjet printer for use as a decor paper, respectively a decor foil in a laminate or laminated panel. The method may involve providing a paper layer, respectively a foil. At least one side of the paper layer, respectively of the foil, may be coated with an inkjet receiver coating that includes at least pigment and binder. The inkjet receiver coating may include an ink reactive compound. The papers and foils may be provided with a printed pattern and used as a decor in the panels.

An intermediate transfer medium having a first transfer layer releasably provided on a support, a thermal transfer sheet in which a first colorant layer, a second transfer layer, and a second colorant layer are provided on one surface of a substrate so as being frame sequentially, and the second transfer layer is releasably provided from the substrate, and a transfer receiving article. The first colorant layer is used to form a first image on the first transfer layer of the intermediate transfer medium. The second transfer layer is transferred onto the first transfer layer on which the first image is formed, and then, the second colorant layer is used to form a second image on the second transfer layer. The first transfer layer is transferred together with the second transfer layer transferred on the first transfer layer onto the transfer receiving article to obtain a print having a stereoscopic image.

According to an example, a recording medium may include a substrate; a first coating including an inorganic pigment, a first binder, and a fixative agent; and a second coating including inorganic nanoparticles and a second binder; in which the inorganic pigment may be a plate-shaped pigment.
